Corrigendum to ’A plant-derived antimicrobial peptide with multiple mechanisms of action exhibiting antibacterial and antibiofilm activities comparable to or superior to polymyxin B’ [Current Research in Microbial Sciences Volume 10 (2026) 100535]

The authors regret that the confocal images presented in Fig. 2A in the article were not original ones. These images have been replaced in the corrigendum with original, unmodified confocal images. This correction does not affect the results or conclusions of the study and is made solely to ensure accuracy and the presentation of raw data. The authors apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Fig. 2A.

Membrane integrity or damage and morphology of E. coli following exposure to various concentrations of the NCR169C_17–38 peptide. (A) E. coli cells were stained with SYTO 9 and PI, and pictures were taken with confocal microscope; scale bar: 10 μm. (B) Cells were treated with the peptide in the absence of fluorescent dyes and imaged using a scanning electron microscope; scale bar: 1 μm. (C) Monitoring of PI uptake in E. coli treated with a series of concentrations of NCR169C_17–38 in Hidex Plate reader. RFU (535/616) = Relative Fluorescence Units (excitation/emission wavelengths). 0.8 μM Polymyxin B (PMB) was used as a control.
